Ballot for Amateur 2 letter Calls - WIA Process Paper
On 7 February 2008 ACMA decided to delegate certain statutory functions and administrative services associated with Amateur licensing to the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA). As part of these arrangements, ACMA has requested that the WIA manage a fair and transparent ballot process for the allocation of 2 letter callsigns in all states and territories in Australia (the "Ballot"). 2 letter callsigns will be available on an equitable basis to all qualified operators who are eligible to participate in the Ballot.
The WIA Process Paper [Word (64 kb) or PDF (56 kb)] for the Ballot is now available. This paper follows publication of the proposal paper in April 2008 and a period of consultation with the amateur community.
The closing date for receipt of applications for the Ballot was 4pm AEST Friday 29 August 2008.
Amateurs wishing to participate in the Ballot must complete the application form available from the WIA website. All queries regarding the Ballot should be directed to the WIA:
